The emotional and moving documentary "Aida's Secrets" is coming to South Florida theaters on Oct. 27.

The film, distributed by Music Box Films and directed by Israeli filmmakers and brothers Alon and Shaul Schwarz, is scheduled to open at press time at O Cinema Miami Beach, Movies of Delray and Living Room Theaters in Boca Raton.

The documentary shows how the discovery of records from World War II sparks a family's quest for answers as two brothers, both nearly 70 years old and separated as babies, reunite with each other and their elderly mother, who hid more from them than just each other.

One of these two brothers is Izak Szewelwicz, who was born in the Bergen-Belsen displaced persons camp in 1945 and sent for adoption in Israel. Though Izak was able to form a relationship with his birth mother, his life was turned upside down years later when he located not only his birth certificate, but also another of a brother he never knew existed. The filmmakers set out to find answers for Izak while uncovering questions of identity, resilience and the plight of displaced persons as Izak and his brother Shep finally meet in Canada before traveling to a nursing home in Quebec to introduce Shep to his elderly mother, Aida, for the first time.

Alon Schwarz, who is a nephew of Izak and is scheduled to appear at Q&A sessions at Living Room Theaters on Oct. 27, Movies of Delray on Oct. 28 and O Cinema Miami Beach on Oct. 29, said one of his goals for the film was to reunite a family.

"To reunite a family after 70 years is something that's almost unbelievable, so I think we managed to do that. For me it was a very personal thing to close the circle and help find his brother."

Schwarz, who heard about the secret regarding his uncle's story when he was a young child, said his curiosity regarding it was a factor in prompting him to make this film.

"The curiosity was killing me. I walked with this secret in my chest for 40 years and never told anybody. I was very curious to know the truth about who his brother was and about the story."

Schwarz also mentioned something else he found very interesting as he was researching.

"In Israel, the Holocaust is taught in schools and it's a national thing, but they never talk about the post-war period. They always talk about the horrors of the Holocaust, and for me the most amazing thing was to have the opportunity to tell a story that's very different because it deals with the aftermath of the Holocaust, which was a revival of life."

Schwarz continued, "For me it was an amazing experience to show a very different life after the war and the film was really successful in Israel. It was a really happy outcome for me to show this to the world and tell a different story."

The film 's success includes awards at numerous film festivals. In January, the film won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature Film at the Miami Jewish Film Festival.

"It's no surprise why our audience rewarded "Aida's Secrets" with an Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature Film. You will rarely find a more beautiful and hauntingly unforgettable film than this," said Igor Shteyrenberg, executive director of the Miami Jewish Film Festival. "It's not just Oscar-worthy material, but Oscar-requisite."
